Killing the Business Goose.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN March 17-Commenting upon
the recent decision of the Supreme Court, in
which it is held that the State tax upon the
commercial travellers is unconstitutional, gem
tlenan who has been in the business in the
South, said to-day: zone of the principal rea-
sons for the depression of trade of Southern
cities is the fact that every business man in the
South is taxed to death. There is scarcely a
city south of Mason and Dixon's line where a
man can open blacksmith's shop or dry
goods store before ne PAYS license fee into the
State or municipal treasury. While Northern
towns frequently offer bonus to manufacturers
to locate with them. Southern towns take the
opposite course, and instead Of inviting business
enterprises put as many difficulties in the way of
The woudbe merchant possible. / have
found this true in every city We have visited
from Washington to Florida. The tax imposed
upon commercial travellers has also been a bar
to business progress. If the States interested
will not try to evade the decision of the Supreme
Court the first step will have been taken towards
the prosperity Of the South, but arm afraid that
all sorts of attempts will be made to evade that
decision"

porter about the making Of bombs and the use
to which they would be put He also pointed
out the significance of the many portions os the
evidence showing that deliberate plans had been
formed for the revolution to begin the very
night on which the Haymarket massacre COM
menced, and establishing the fact that con-
sDiracv existed and that the defendants were
party to it.
Attorney Zesler, for the Reds. after giving
his views on the true province of the law, said
that his clients had been found guilty on sus
plcion, and nothing else. New and original the
cries of law. he said, were invented in order to
secure conviction in the case. The trial occurred
shortly after the crime was committed. and
when there was q ''howlng public opinion"
against the defendants. An impartial jury was
not secured. Judge Gary erred in refusing
challenges for cause against persons legally dis
qualified from being jurors. Mr.. Zeisler quoted
at length from the examinations of talesmen in
the record to illustrate what he claimed were
erroneous rulings of Judge Gary.
While doing this Judge Mulkey asked if the
defense had exhausted all of it's peremptory
challenges, and was told that it had
The prosecution. Mr.. Zeisier said had failed
to show that any conspiracy existed to kill any
one at the Havmarket, and had failed utterly to
connect any Of the defendants with any con-
spiracv whatever. Thompson and Gilmer the
only two witnesses by whom it attempted
to show such connection, were convicted of per-
Jury out of their own mouths. Mr.. Zesler re-
ferred TO their testimony, and commented upon
it. The last portion of his time was devoted to
attempting to show that q number Of Judge
Gary's instructions to the jury were erroneous.

began to speak, but soon recovered himself, and,
altogether. made forcible argument

were all dressed in overcoats exactly alike, each
wore shiny silk hat, and each carried cane OF
the same make. The party was very enthuslas-
tic and loud in their praise of the man from Buff
falo who had been chosen chief magistrate of
the country. For the past two years, or since
that party went away, there has never been
day when half dozen Buffalonians could have
been found in Washington at one time This
week, however. the city is again overrun with
visitors from the Queen City of the Lake. There
